PHOQUE!

I actually think he might, if he finally realizes he has no hope of holding onto power

The shocking part is it took him this long

I just hope the judges tell him to stuff it

On election night, I was expecting a speech by morning declaring it was stolen

There are board games out there designed to mock Trump. I’d make one of the official rules “if player 2 wins, assume they cheated and declare player 1 the winner”

There’s virtually nothing they can do to stop the democrats from taking power…legally. the next thing to worry about is that they’ll do something illegally to stop democrats from taking power. I hope somebody with power has a plan to stop any coup attempts

I think there was a part of me that was expecting everything to become awesome literally overnight. I think there are MAGA people abandoning ship now, but there are still some MAGA morons remaining. News stories about ICE still have commenters demanding “the whole story” because they can’t acknowledge that sometimes ICE acts immorally

In his interview with 60 Minutes, he actually talked about walking back his immigration policies. Of course, during the broadcast of this interview, 60 Minutes pointed out that after the interview he made Stephen Miller chief of staff and that seems to contradict this promise

What took him so long?

My ex thought Kansas was in Texas. I wish I’d asked for more information. Did they think Superman and Dorothy Gale were from Texas?

I’ve been high on optimism for a week. Now the anxiety is starting to return

Fruit of the Loom actually caused an incursion that made universes collide, now everybody is distracted arguing about if there was a cornucopia and how to spell Berenstain

If he behaves

Treason. He’s calling for treason. Therefore, I call for him to be arrested

They can’t solve every issue all at once. Personally, I’m against the death penalty. But I’m more concerned about innocent people dying of starvation or lack of healthcare than about people who have been convicted of murder being executed. Again, I don’t want people executed, but most of them weren’t innocent.

Paradoxically, that answers the question

It is

My question was prompted by the thought that maybe it has happened and just hasn’t been publicly announced. Unless it happens on live tv, there will be SOME amount of time the general public is still in the dark. Even if we assume nobody tries to cover up anything, it’ll take a few minutes to confirm he’s dead and tell the media

I like to use Y2K as an example of this phenomona. It’s a common misconception that people were panicked over something that was never going to happen. In reality, programmers put loads of time and effort into fixing the problem.

Sadly, when a crisis is averted, people think it was never going to happen. Now, if the Untied States manages not to continue its descent into fascism, people will say that those who predicted it were just fearmongering. In reality, people seeing the fascism rising led to people working against it.
